Overview

Many years ago and in the middle of class, a young boy felt the hand of God tugging his fingers toward the pencil on his desk. He was only nine, as yet barely able to read or write, but the vision forming in his mind drew the words irresistibly out of him and onto the pages of his exercise book: Ipa moyo wako kuna Jeso-Give your heart to Jesus-began the message. What joy the boy felt to see his soul's cry put into words. Yet something was still missing: the sharing of those words. Within these pages of devotional poetry, the seed of a vision which God planted so long ago in Jonathan Musvosvi at last blossoms, as he shares the voice of his heart with others. Stand with him in the enlivening rain of a lifetime of experiences and insights condensed into poetic form. Travel through stanzas of love and sorrow and commitment, regret and gratitude, fear and the serenity of grace. Climb mountains and swim in cleansing rivers. Tremble in the cold and dark of winter, find comfort in the giving of comfort, and seek renewal in the sunshine of God's springtime. Walk a while in the truth God has showered upon one man's life throughout the years, and witness His own mighty and merciful hand as it inscribes a world-spanning arc of promise. As you discover something of your own journey day by day, you might find not just a kindred spirit but a spring to satisfy your own thirst.
